INDIANS MEET CUMBERLAND HERE FRIDAY NIGHT $25.00 C/3 U4 DC O H < The Newberry Indians play the Lawyers from Cumberland University on Setzler field this Friday night at 8 o’clock. The Indians jubilant over _ t of their victory last week against Ers- r . xihe beauti- kine, are eager to add another scalp to their belts. This game, however, promises to be a greater test for the Redmen. Cumberland University has to play against the tough opposition of the Tennessee and Kentucky mountain district and consequenty, has had to play excellent football in order to survive. The men from the Cedars of Lebanon depend on a tricky offense made up mainly of forward and lat eral passes. Their running game is strong enough to make their passes work. On the other hand, Bill Laval’s boys have uncovered a dazzling pass ing attack to go with their strong running game and the Mountaineers will have a hard time pushing the Indians around.- Newberry has not lost a game on the home field this season. Although this struggle will be a fierce one, the Indians do not in tend to have their record marred. Those attending the game will en joy seeing the scintillating playing of Masters, Newberry’s star end who is unequalled in the state for sheer bril liance, Cooley, a slashing, tearing, plunging back, and Colangelo, the shSfv.y, sophomore sensation, behind the blocking of the strong forward wall will make it exceedingly un pleasant for the football cohorts from Cumberland University. In order to assure a large attendance, the price of admission has been reduced to $1.00 for adults; 40 cents for students. $42.50 . $40.00 Small Down Payment $1 per week W. E.
